Kremlin Echoes Trump, Calls Hacking Allegations a ‘Witch Hunt’

On Friday the CIA, FBI, and NSA released a joint report alleging that Russian foreign intelligence services used disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks to help get Donald Trump elected.

A Complete List of This Year’s Golden Globes Winners

It was not a good night for science fiction and fantasy, with Zootopia the only winner even sort of fitting either description. That’s not to say that the nominees didn’t have a lot of surprising acknowledgements of genre (hey Deadpool). Or even that the winners didn’t deserve it. Just that Mr. Robot, which dominated last…

In New Beauty and the Beast Footage, Emma Watson Sings, Meets the Beast and Yearns for More

During the Golden Globes, Disney premiered a short TV spot for Beauty and the Beast. It’s almost all new footage and it’s almost entirely centered on Emma Watson’s Belle. Which makes sense, since it’s soundtracked with her singing “Belle.” Great adventure in the great wide somewhere, indeed. Like everything else we’ve seen from this film, it’s…

Justice League Photo Finally Unites the Team

Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, The Flash, and Aquaman are finally side-by-side and in action in the latest image from Justice League. And since it’s a Zack Snyder movie, obviously it’s going to have a bunch of looming fog. Still, Snyder’s right to call them a bunch of badasses. “It was all about the filling-out of…
